Lucia was an absolutely lovely woman who warmly welcomed us and looked after us during our short stay. She really made it special - so kind and welcoming, it felt like we had known her for years and she completely made our stay. We loved her cats, the plum tart and the freshly collected chestnuts - thank you!
The apartment is connected to her house and is comfortable and clean with absolutely lovely views from the windows and the small balcony where you can sit and enjoy the lake views.
Rezzonico itself is a really delightful and peaceful village about 10 minutes drive from Menaggio. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the more tourist sights with a simple village shop and a pizzeria and a really local feel which we loved. Beautiful houses and a nice frontage to the lake with a little pebble beach.
We would highly recommend it if you want a stay far from the madding crowds with the most delightful host and a real sense of Italy!

We had a wonderful 10 days stay in this charming house. Exciting walk from the car park down alleys between the ancient houses to find Il Campanello. The interior did not disappoint - photos show the rooms off well, but once the shutters and windows were open it was hard to take your eyes from the stunning views. House cooled down well and offered welcome respite from the heat of the August sun.
Lots of walking. Lovely local villages and Menaggio just down the coast for a few shops and cafes/bars. Lazy day taking the ferries to various lake side towns (day ticket). Lazier days just on the local pebble beach dipping in and out of the lake. Didn't take long to realise that the village shops have everything we needed and two good pizza places which left the kids wide eyed (but they managed to eat the lot!) the village has clearly been chosen well - just the right size for some shops and places to eat, but not so big to feel very tourist-ridden. Would have liked to have climbed to the top of some of the mountains we enjoyed looking at, but 9 and 12 year old weren't having that - we'll have to come back for that!
Could probably have managed without a car with a bit of planning from airport. Local bus service was good which we took to visit Villa Carlotta for stress free trip down side of lake. Multiple ferry services also good from Menaggio, reached via a flat 1 hour walk, or spectacular climbing 2 hour walk, or by bus, or car. Kate's tips on the website and the various suggestions in the visitor book are really helpful.
A lovely stress free holiday - would certainly recommend and would love to return.

This apartment surprised us by how modern, spacious,well-equipped and clean it was. The pictures don't do it justice. The location ,up a steep hill of 8 hairpin bends, is not within realistic, easy walking distance of the lake or other amenities but is made up for by the view, the quietness and having the pool for cooling down on hot days. The apartment could do with air- conditioning and wi-fi but because it doesn't might explain why it's less expensive than it's neighboring properties.
The letting agency were excellent, sending us the best directions to find the property that we've ever had(photos of the road /signs right from the airport to the apartment) and coming to the apartment to meet us on arrival.
We enjoyed trips on the lake by every type of craft available and trips to Como, Varenna, Bellagio and of course Mennagio, and the extremes of very high temperatures and then heavy rain didn't spoil these experiences. We also went over the border to Lugano and would recommend that too. The best pizza was in Pizzeria Lucarno in Menaggio(15 minutes away), a basic but fantastic atmospheric place where you can see your pizza being fired and only be charged 7 Euros for a good sized, original pizza.Not a place to spot celebs but that's why it's so good.
So, this apartment is definitely recommended provided you have a car and don't mind driving on narrow, busy lakeside and mountain roads.
